Abstract: A torque sensor for automobiles capable of maintaining initial fabricated positions
of components in a housing even though being subjected to thermal expansion or
external shock is disclosed. Retaining elements (80) made of resilient material having
excellent damping capability are interposed between an inner surface of a housing (20) and
each of detection coil assemblies (30,40) by molding process to enable the components
received in the housing to be securely held. Though being subjected to external
vibration or shock, the external effect can be absorbed by damping effect of the retaining
elements (80). Though the components in the housing thermally expand due to temperature
variation, the retaining elements (80) are elastically deformed to accommodate volume
increase by the thermal expansion. Since fabricated positions of the components can be
securely maintained without axial and radial displacement, it is possible to precisely
detect torque acting on a torsion bar (12).

Abstract: In a method for identifying and classifying premature atrial contractions, a
cardiac lead having multiple electrodes, electrically separated from each other, at its
tip is placed in contact with cardiac tissue, so that at least two of the electrodes are
simultaneously in contact with the cardiac tissue. When a depolarization wave
arrives at the tip, respective unipolar signals are detected from multiple electrodes in
contact with the cardiac tissue, and these signals are analyzed, such as by
identifying a time offset between pairs of the signals, to identify a propagation
direction of the depolarization wave. Dependent on this propagation direction, the
depolarization wave is classified as representing a normal sinus beat or a premature
atrial contraction. By further analysis, the premature atrial contraction, if present, is
classified as originating either from the right atrium or the left atrium.

Abstract: A method of sending binary data 2 over an image data channel 40. The binary
data 2 is encoded into an encoded linear matrix image 4, and the encoded linear matrix
image 4 is transmitted over the image data channel 40. The received linear matrix image
6 is decoded to recover the binary data 8. The encoding uses encoding parameters 30
which are adapted for encoding the binary data 2 into an encoded matrix image 4. The
encoding parameters 30 are defined in such a manner that a transformed matrix image 6
produced by transmitting the encoded linear matrix image 4 over the image-transforming
channel 40 is reconstructable into the encoded linear matrix image 4. The binary data 2
is encoded into the encoded linear matrix image 4 according to the encoding parameters
30. In order to recover the binary data 8 from the received matrix image 6, the decoding
analyzes a header section 6a of the received linear matrix image 6 to determine image-distortion
characteristics 32 of the image data channel 40. The header section 6a is
decoded according to the image-distortion characteristics 32 so as to recover the encoding
parameters 30 that were used to encode the binary data 2. A data section 6b of the
received linear matrix image 6 is decoded according to the encoding parameters 30 so as
to form recovered binary data 8.
